Here's a radical thought for politicians in UK?

Question

i) You increase car tax and petrol tax so that petrol has reached £4.00 PLUS for a gallon.
ii) You continue to tax motorists to the hilt.
iii) Nanny PM then starts spouting off about people should take the public bus, train, ride a bicycle or walk to work and take the kids to school using public transport or walking.

Have the political spin doctors not cottoned on yet that people keep driving their cars, that they have paid mega bucks for, and work hard to keep it on the road, and even harder to put petrol and oil into it in order to have SOME enjoyment out of thier vehicle, BECAUSE of these high taxes they are being charged?

Tax payers WANT thier moneys' worth in thier taxes. Isn't that the excuse spinners give for not spending money on much NEEDED and NECCESSARY basic equipment for all emergency services, not to mention the Military?
You keep taxing motorists, we'll keep our cars on the road.
Simple as.
